JONESBORO, Ark. – An arrest has been made in the investigation into a circuit judge-elect in Jonesboro.
Doug Brimhall was arrested for aggravated assault on a family or household member, a felony charge, on Tuesday, May 21. Jail records show him booked at 10:15 AM and released at 10:31 AM.
According to the heavily redacted incident report JPD initially refused to release, a suspect allegedly attacked a victim between May 3 and May 4 at a location in Jonesboro in a manner that would potentially constitute felony aggravated assault on a family or household member and third degree endangering the welfare of a minor. The report describes the injury type to the alleged victim as “minor” but the department masked the injury description. A white 40-year old male suspect, 5’10” with green eyes and brown hair, is listed in the report.
The dispatch log, which police initially refused to release, reveals more. It states that the dispatcher was told a female juvenile was assaulted by her father on May 3. The dispatcher wrote that the step mother brought the juvenile to the ex-mother in laws to stay over night. The ex-mother in law is a mandated reporter and the incident was already reported to DHS.
On May 7, Brimhall resigned from his position as deputy prosecuting attorney, Prosecutor Sonia F. Hagood confirmed. However, Hagood did not divulge any other details.
UPDATE: Tuesday afternoon, police released the probable cause affidavit, which can be found in an updated story below. The affidavit alleges a drunken domestic violence incident involving a busted windshield and alleged choking of a teen victim.
